You are my all in all

This Is the Work of God, That Ye Believe on Him Whom He Hath Sent

Pastor Ock Soo Park Sermon

The Disappointment

of Jesus

John chapter 6 has the story

we know very well of Jesus

feeding the five thousand with

five barley loaves.

"Where did you get this

bread? May I have some? But I

don't have any money...."

"That's fine."

Everyone at that time must

have eaten the bread made

from the barley loaves. What

upset Jesus was that He was

the bread of life and whoever

eats Jesus will receive eternal

life. But people came to eat

bread that will rot and there

were very few who came to

eat the spiritual words of Jesus.

Jesus was very upset and said,

"Labour not for the meat

which perisheth, but for that

meat which endureth unto everlasting

life...." "Verily, verily, I

say unto you, Ye seek me, not

because ye saw the miracles,

but because ye did eat of the

loaves, and were filled." They

ate the bread of the flesh and

were filled, but they did not

eat the bread of life after

meeting Jesus. I think this is

how His disappointment was

described.

"Labour not for the meat

which perisheth, but for that

meat which endureth unto everlasting

life, which the Son of

man shall give unto you.t..."

As all of you may know,

"meat which perisheth" is the

food we eat. When you eat

that you will be full at the moment,

but you will die later on.

There is no one who will live

forever by eating bread. "Meat

which endureth unto everlasting

life" is speaking of Jesus.

The Jews whispered among

one another after hearing

what Jesus said.

"How can this man give us

his flesh to eat?"

That is not what Jesus

meant, but the Jews accepted

it according to their thoughts.

The Bread's Power;

the Word's Power

God spoke to Noah during

the time of the flood. "The

wickedness of man is great on

the earth and the end of all

flesh is come before me. I will

destroy them with water."

Noah accepted those words.

Therefore, he built the ark in

preparation for the flood.

However, when others heard,

through Noah, that God was

going to judge the world with

water, not only did they hear

the words of God, but Satan

also put thoughts inside of

them. "It's not going to rain

that much. God is the God of

love. It's going to rain a little

and stop." This is how people

accepted it. That is why the

Word of God could not enter

their heart. They did not accept

the Word of God that He was

going to judge the world with

water. Therefore, their lives

were the same before and after

they heard that word.

But Noah, who accepted

that word, was different. Before

accepting the words, he

never thought there was going

to be a flood and he never imagined

building an ark. But after

hearing the words, Noah

stopped farming, taking care

of the orchard, and tending

the flock. He called his three

sons Shem, Ham, and Japeth.

"This is what God said so let's

build the ark." They started to

build the ark.

It was not Noah's thoughts

that made him build the ark. It

was the Word of God that led

Noah to build the ark. What

happens when we eat the

bread of the flesh? It gets digested

in our body and gives

us strength to do work. Do we

not work through the power

given to us by the bread? Likewise,

when we accept the

Word of God, it is the Word

that works. Until Noah received

the Word of God, he

never imagined that he will

build an ark. When the Word

of God entered Noah, the

Word led Noah to build the ark

he never thought of before.

When the Jews asked Jesus,

"What shall we do, that we

might work the works of

God?" Jesus replied, "This is

the work of God, that ye believe

on him whom he hath

sent." Believing in Jesus; believing

in the words of Jesus is

the work of God. If Noah believes

the Word of God that

the world will be judged with

water, the Word will enter

Noah and make him build the

ark. But if he does not accept it

in faith, he cannot do that

work. When we eat bread, it

enters our body and gives us

strength to do work. Likewise,

when we accept the Word, it

enters us and leads us to do

the work of God. Believing is

doing the work of God.

It was not only so during

the time of Noah's flood. One

day Jesus was passing by and

met a man blind from birth.

The disciples asked, "Who did

sin, this man, or his parents,

that he was born blind?" Jesus

answered, "Neither hath this

man sinned, nor his parents:

but that the works of God

should be made manifest in

him." Then He spit on the

ground, made clay, put it on

the man's eyes and said, "Go,

wash in the pool of Siloam."

The blind man was begging in

the streets. If he did not meet

Jesus, he would have continued

begging. But after the

words of Jesus entered the

blind man's heart, he no longer

begged and groped his

way to the pool of Siloam.

What is this power that is leading

the blind man to the pool

of Siloam? It is the power of

the Word. When he received,

by faith, the words of Jesus,

"Go, wash in the pool of Siloam,"

that Word led him.

I Was Sure I Was

a Sinner

A long time ago I did not

believe the Bible but in my

thoughts. That is why I always

thought I was a sinner even

though I went to church. "I

have a lot of sin. I'm a sinner."

Yet, I thought I believed

the Bible was the Word of

God. It was obvious that I was

a sinner because I sinned. One

day I was reading the Bible and

saw that it was very different

from my thoughts. In Romans

chapter 3 verses 23 and 24,

God said that I was righteous.

Many passages in Romans

chapter 8 say that I'm righteous;

Hebrews chapter 10 says

that God does not remember

my sins, and many verses in the

Bible say that my sins are washed

white as snow.

I read these verses before,

but they did not enter my

heart and I did not believe

them. Therefore, my thoughts

led me and not the Word. My

thoughts were, "I'm a sinner

because I sin." One day I accepted

the words and the eyes of

my heart opened, "The Bible

says I'm righteous. It is written

that Jesus took all of my sins."

After I believed the Bible, I was

not a sinner. I was sure I was a

sinner, but the Word of God

made me righteous, clean, and

holy.

A Life Led by

the Word

During the time of Noah's

flood, all those that followed

their thoughts did not accept

the Word of God, but it wasn't

so with Noah who received the

Word. "God said so! The flood

will come!" "Shem, Ham, and

Japeth! We must build the ark.

No matter how well you take

care of the orchard, it's useless

when the flood comes. No

matter how nicely the ranch

and house is built, it's nothing

when the flood comes. We

must build the ark." Noah built

the ark. Noah must have built

the ark through the strength

he received from eating bread,

but in actuality the strength

that allowed Noah to build the

ark was the Word of God.

One day the blind man met

Jesus in the street. Jesus made

clay, put it on his eyes, and

said, "Go, wash in the pool of

Siloam." The blind man never

thought of going to the pool

of Siloam to wash. Even if he

was dirty, he could not see because

he was blind. He put out

his hands and was begging,

but Jesus told him to wash at

the pool of Siloam. The blind

man was begging, but he suddenly

got up and went to the

pool of Siloam.

"Hello. I'm blind and I can't

see. Is this the way to the pool

of Siloam?"

"Yes."

"How far do I need to go?

Are there any dangerous places?"

He asked his way to the

pool.

Why is this blind man trying

to go to the pool of Siloam?

It's because he received the

words of Jesus into his heart. If

he did not receive the words of

Jesus, he would still be sitting

down begging, "Give me some

change". He was going to the

pool of Siloam that he never

thought of because the Word

entered his heart and was

leading him there.

No matter how much you

read the Bible and pray, the

Word cannot work inside of

you if you don't accept it. Can

the bread give me strength if I

don't eat it? No matter how

much bread you have, it only

gives you strength when you

eat it. Jesus said, "I am the

bread of life." He said, "Just as

man lives by eating bread, he

that eats me will live."

The life of eating the Word

of God continued in my life. I

lived following my thoughts

before the Word of God entered

my heart. I was a sinner

when I thought I was a sinner, I

was right when I thought I was

right.... If I sinned a lot, I lived

in fear thinking, "I can't go to

heaven because I have so many

sins." But one day the Word of

God came and took its place in

my heart.

"I'm a sinner but the Bible

says I'm not. I sinned but the

Bible says I'm righteous. If the

Word of God says I'm righteous,

then I'm righteous."

Noah built the ark after listening

to the Word of God and

after the words of Jesus entered

the blind man, he stopped

begging and went to the

pool of Siloam. He washed and

returned with open eyes. Just

like them, when I accepted the

Word of God, a world that did

not exist in my thoughts started

to lead me. That was the

world of the Spirit of God.

When we accept the Word

of God into our heart, that is

when the Word of God starts

to lead us. That is how the Bible

is. One day Jesus met Peter

at the Sea of Galilee. "Launch

out into the deep, and let

down your nets for a draught."

Until those words entered Peter,

he was fishing somewhere

else and not in the deep. Now

it was the words of Jesus, not

his thoughts, which led Peter

to throw the net into the deep

and catch fish. He used to live

following his thoughts. But after

accepting the Word, he

now lives a life where the

Word leads him.

This Is Truly Not My

Heart!

When I served in the army,

many trainees entered while I

was at the training base. I

would ask the trainees, "What

do you want to do the most?"

They would say they want to

get a leave. "What are you going

to do when you get your

leave?" They would say they

wanted to sleep in. "What are

you going to do after you

sleep?" They would say they

wanted to eat meat. "What

are you doing to do after

that?" They would say they

will go out and meet girls. That

is how nearly all soldiers think.

The desires of the flesh lead

them.

However, God entered me

after I received salvation and

led me to a world I never imagined.

I was very amazed at it.

"No matter how I look at it,

this is not my thought!" What

came out from me was like all

the other soldiers - filthy, dirty,

evil, and lustful things. If I acted

upon those thoughts, I

would be living like an animal.

I am still dirty and filthy even

though I suppress many of the

things that come up from

within me. I precisely knew

that I would not be able to lift

my head up because of shame

if I acted upon all those

thoughts. Actually, I am that

kind of person. Back then I

thought I was right and only

believed in my thoughts. But

one day I faced the Word of

God and what the Bible said

was completely different.

When I accepted the Word, I

felt the world of the heart that

was different from my

thoughts leading me. When I

looked at myself, I was a sinner

because I was always sinning

and doing evil. But the Bible

said my sins were washed

white as snow. It said that Jesus

paid the price for my sins on

the cross. It said it was finished

on the cross.

"This is what the Bible says.

Then, are my thoughts correct

or the Word of God?" The

Word of God and my thoughts

fought each other and I came

to a conclusion, "No matter

how I look at it, the Word of

God can't be wrong. My

thoughts are wrong. The Word

of God is right. If God said I'm

righteous, then I'm righteous."

For the first time I believed the

Word of God and not my

thoughts.

Noah built the ark according

to the Word of God that was

different from his thoughts.

The blind man followed the

words of Jesus and washed at

the pool of Siloam. Like them,

a force that was different from

the desires and ambitions of

my flesh started to lead me. I

know myself well. "This is not

me! I can't do this! I'm actually

dirty and filthy! That is why

this heart is not my heart!" A

force that was not me led me

and I received the guidance of

Jesus.

That is how I spent many

years. When I look back, only

the desires of my flesh remained

in the past. After I received

salvation the desires of

the flesh were still there, but

the Spirit of God started to

lead me step by step. That truly

amazed me. "This is truly not

my heart! It's the heart of

God!"

How is the heart of God

formed in our heart? When we

believe God and believe His

Word, the Word leads us.

If You Believe

the Word of God

The blind man is walking towards

the pool of Siloam. He

keeps on walking.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the pool of Siloam.

Do you know where that

is?"

Why does he do that? It's

because the words of Jesus telling

him to wash at the pool of

Siloam is alive in his heart. He

used to live following his

thoughts, but now he lives by

following the words of Jesus

that are different from his

thoughts. That life is different

from the past. As the blind

man washed at the pool of Siloam

according to the words of

Jesus, his eyes opened and he

became whole. If you accept

the Word of God, just like we

live off of the strength the

bread gives us, the Word of

God has power and will lead

you according to the will of

God. We live by the power of

the Word. A person who believes

the Word of God lives a

life that is different from the

previous life not led by the

Word.

Jesus said, "This is the work

of God, that ye believe on him

whom he hath sent." If we just

believe the Word of God and

accept it, the Word enters us

and starts to work. That is truly

amazing and wonderful. I used

to believe only in my thoughts,

but now I do not believe my

thoughts. I became a person

that believes in the Word of

God. It doesn't matter how it

looks in my eyes. When I accepted

the Word of God, the

Word entered me and led me.

"I'm not a sinner. It's true that I

sin, but the Word of God said

I'm not a sinner. Are my

thoughts correct or the Word?

I believe the Word. That is why

I'm not a sinner anymore. I'm

righteous because God said I'm

righteous. I'm holy because

God said I'm holy. I won't be

condemned because God said

He doesn't condemn me!"

That is what I believe. That

faith entered me. Now I am

not led by my human

thoughts. I became a person

who is led by God. Every time

I'm led by the Word, I can see

that God is alive and working

with power inside of me.

Loving people, this is believing

in God; believing in the

Word of God and not following

my thoughts. When you

believe the Word of God, the

Spirit of God will enter you and

bestow grace and blessings

upon you.

"Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of

the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which

the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might

work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."

(John 6:26~29)

This Is the Work of God, That Ye

Believe on Him Whom He Hath Sent

As the Deer

Power of your Love

Jesus died on the cross for your and my sins.

Jesus died on the cross for your and my sins..

Jesus came to this world, to save us

from sin, Let's read the scripture in Matthew 1:21

(Matthew 1:21)

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give

him the name Jesus, because he will save his

people from their sins."

then the work of saving our souls from the sin

belongs to Jesus, If I believe bible precisely.

God's Love demonstrated in

(Romans 5:8).

“God demonstrates his own love for us in this:

While we were still sinners, Christ died for us”

We all are sinners.... No one is worthy to enter

into the kingdom of God, except through believing Jesus Christ

died on the cross 2000 years ago and receiving the

righteousness of God which is through faith. Below

Paul writes to Philippians.

Philippians 3:9

"and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my
own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ--
the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith."

We can never win sin in our life, Jesus only can win the sin.

If I and you can live the life without sinning, Jesus would not have

come to die for our sins. Till we die we will commit sin, and

will have fight against the sin without peace and rest and no assurance of Heaven if I don't believe Bible that Jesus washed my sins.

In Revelation 1:5

And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the
first born from the dead, and the ruler over the
kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us
from our sins in His own blood."

Bible clearly says that Jesus washed our sins in his own blood.

Our sins till we die was washed 2000 years back. God sent

Jesus to die for our sins.

John 1:29

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said,
"Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

In John chapter, Jesus said before he gave his

spirit

John 1:30

"It is finished"

What Jesus finished ? saving people from

sins right. Read the below scripture which was

said by an angel to Mary.

(Matthew 1:21)

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give

him the name Jesus, because he will save his

people from their sins."

I hope you believe this in your heart to receive salvation and make Jesus as your saviour instead of you.

Thanks and May God give grace upon you...

God so loved the world....

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotton Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

God so, loved the world the he gave his only son Jesus as a sacrifice for our sins. In the old testament God asked Abraham to give sacrifice but, did not allow but in the new testament, God himself gave his only son.

Whoever believes that Jesus washed my sins on the cross by his own blood and resurrected and lives forever, will have everlasting life.

Jesus gives rest for your souls.....

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV)

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

It is Jesus who finished your and my SINs on the cross, took curse and Shame for us because he loved us even before we were born.

Because he bore our heavy SIN burdens, Our souls takes rest in Christ Jesus. The Yoke of Jesus is preaching his Gospel.
